SUMMARY:Saint Leander of Seville
DESCRIPTION:Saint Leander of Seville\nSaint of the Day for March 13\n(c. 534 – March 13\, 600 or 601)\nhttps://www.franciscanmedia.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/SODMar13.mp3\nSaint Leander of Seville’s Story\nThe next time you recite the Nicene Creed at Mass\, think of today’s saint. For it was Leander of Seville who\, as bishop\, introduced the practice in the sixth century. He saw it as a way to help reinforce the faith of his people and as an antidote against the heresy of Arianism\, which denied the divinity of Christ. By the end of his life\, Leander had helped Christianity flourish in Spain at a time of political and religious upheaval. \nLeander’s own family was heavily influenced by Arianism\, but he himself grew up to be a fervent Christian. He entered a monastery as a young man and spent three years in prayer and study. At the end of that tranquil period he was made a bishop. For the rest of his life he worked strenuously to fight against heresy. The death of the anti-Christian king in 586 helped Leander’s cause. He and the new king worked hand in hand to restore orthodoxy and a renewed sense of morality. Leander succeeded in persuading many Arian bishops to change their loyalties. \nLeander died around 600. In Spain\, he is honored as a Doctor of the Church. \n\nReflection\nAs we pray the Nicene Creed every Sunday\, we might reflect on the fact that that same prayer is not only being prayed by every Catholic throughout the world\, but by many other Christians as well. Saint Leander introduced its recitation as a means of uniting the faithful. Let’s pray that the recitation may enhance that unity today.
